These woodland legwarmers feature some cute critters amidst a variety of fair isle bands of differing widths to add visual interest. Designed to use up leftover bits of sock yarns, the pair of shaped legwarmers used less than 25g/110yds of each color. Due to the large stitch count of the animal band repeats, only one size is offered. For smaller legwarmers, use smaller needles for a tighter gauge. For larger legwarmers, consider using heavier weight yarn and/or larger needles. The bulk of the pattern is in chart form.
